oh man '93. he destroyed a lot of cars that year. oh well from 95-01 he sure as hell made up for that.

Jeff has done this a lot in his career, when the car breaks loose he just mashes the brakes and backs it into the fence. Elliot Sadler does it a lot too lol

@jrfan07

Says the Junior fan. You know what else Jeff has done a lot in his career? He's won. He's won A LOT. He's won more than anyone current or future will ever win. I absolutely love the fact that someone named jrfan07 would say something about Jeff's wrecking. Dale Jr has wrecked more since 2005 than Gordon has in his whole career.

@JourneyRaisedOnRadio Jeff is one of my favorite drivers. I root for the guy like crazy. I don't think I cheered so much for one of his wins as I did when he won at Phoenix this year. Forgive me though for making an observation, and forgive me for my username being what it is. A good chunk of "Jr Nation" are assholes, don't put me in that shitwagon with the rest of em'. I'm the weirdest jrfan you will ever see, cheering for jeff..and shhhhh (ive caught myself rooting for kyle a couple times) :P

@JourneyRaisedOnRadio Jr. is not the best driver but he really doesn't crash that much, I don't have the stats but this year he barley crashed at all, though he didn't deserve his final finish stats wise, I did a whole rant on NASCAR.com but I don't feel like replicating it

[SoFxDeadx]

@gordonfan1095 Yea, he isn't a bad driver but he difinately isn't the best, and i think the only reason Hendrick is keeping him is because Jr. has the biggest fanbase in NASCAR right now, cuz i think hes won the last few years as fan favourite driver of the year or something to do with his fanbase. I'd think if he doesnt do as good or better than he did this year, hendrick will replace him soon.

[gordonfan1095]

@SoFxDeadx Yeah he's won the last 9 fan favorites in a row. But he will be around for at least the next three years because he's signed with Hendrick and sponsors until 2014 I believe (Unless he pulls a Kurt Busch goes ballistic and has an early release). Besides he brings in $money$ so he can afford to not win for Hendrick, kinda like Menard for Childress.

@gordonfan1095 lol, 2007 was a different story as far as wrecks, no offence...

[gordonfan1095]

@thosepeeps1234554321 Not offended at all I'm not a crazy Jr. is God person, I'm just saying he doesn't deserve all the hate he gets, but at the same time I don't agree with those who idolize him.

[thosepeeps1234554321]

@gordonfan1095 Agreed.
